<p>Honestly, I don't know anything about Columbia engineering but you look like a well rounded applicant. I would say though that it would probably be somewhat of a reach since they take so few applicants. Other schools to look at would be RIT, URochester, Tulane, Case Western and Lafayette. Good luck!</p>

<p>how are your sat II and ap scores?
your gpa and mediocre (for columbia) sat score will probably be the factors that work against you, but if you've performed strongly in math and science classes and your essays reflect interest, you have a chance!</p>

<p>the fact that you're a girl applying to an engineering school will definitely help too ^.^</p>
